I really did it!!

Saturday, July 06, 2013

So I am excited to have hit my 5% goal after participating in a number of Sparkpeople challenge team Challenges!! Of course I do have my daughter's wedding next weekend so that was a good motivator but the nice weather is a big help as well. Actually I am supposed to be outdoors walking/jogging right now . But if I don't do this now I will be involved in wedding stuff that needs to be tackled.
My next 5% will be in 8 weeks...that's great but I did state that I will be tackling a 5K this year so my real goal is to beat my time which is just under 13 minutes a mile and includes a lot of walking still.
Thanks to Spark Coach...love it! Thanks to my Cloverleaf team and all my Spark Friends. You all are my good support team. Oh yes, I have to give a shout out to my very fit and very slim husband as he continues to do things like ask: "Have you been in your calorie range so you can have this?" He has NEVER had to count calories so this is a change for both of us.
Yep, scary still, but on to the next challenge. Life doesn't wait for us...we have to make it happen.

You are sounding so revved, SPARKED and ready for a stupendous time at your daughter's wedding!

While I don't like to run, I like pushing myself into my one and only 5K each year for the Binghamton Bridge Run. I did an 11 min. mile for the first two years, but (ugh!) slowed to a 13 min. mile this year. Ah well, I was THERE and DOING IT, that's what counts! Looking forward to hearing about yours later this year!
